    <chuckle> no, now let's be fair, I think mine has altered some. Slammer
    time around I pushed the "why wasn't it already patched" point. Then it
    was pointed out in a few other lists how many backflips and side to side
    installs could reinstall a vulnerable set of code making knowing how to
    get patches installed and when to reinstall, let alone keep track of the
    mess was so overwhelming for these folks, that now I just say, "mitigate
    as much as possible at the gateways and servers", at the least, to give
    these guys time to sort out the mess of patching and repatching they are
    stuck with.

    Thanks,

    Ron DuFresne

    OK, so you're a Ph.D. Just don't touch anything.
